Seriously gamers, who doesn’t love a great action RPG in the vein of Diablo or Baulder’s Gate? SolarFall Games’ Umbra is the next evolution of the ARPG genre. In our second Start-Up Saturday spotlight, we look at the features that make Umbra stand out amongst the pack.
In Umbra, you play as a former soldier who has escaped the death penalty punishment and have been recruited by a mysterious group of Templars and then the action soon follows. The game features a unique skill called “Apocalyptic Form” which allows you to shape-shift making your character completely customizable. There is also a neat little crafting mini-game in which you can decorate your home.
The graphics use the Cry-Engine3 and look absolutely stunning. Here are a few other bullet points, a link to the kickstarter, a trailer and a few images:
- Open World – Discover the world and enjoy it at your own convenience.
- Exploration and experimentation – rewards based on your play style.
